Alex Ferguson is hoping to attend the tribute match for late Ireland star Liam Miller if given medical clearance.

Pairc Ui Chaoimh will host a selection of past Manchester United, Ireland and Celtic legends on September 25 in honour of the Cork-born midfielder who passed away earlier this year at the age of 36 after a battle with cancer.

Ferguson brought Miller to Old Trafford in 2004 and is keen to attend the match after making a good recovery from brain surgery, according to the Irish Indepedent.

The legendary manager could see many of his former players in action as a Manchester United XI face a Celtic/Republic of Ireand XI at the home of Cork GAA.
